The Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health offers an interdisciplinary program of advanced study in public health that prepares graduates for teaching, research, administrative, and leadership positions in academic, government, industry, and other institutions.

The Doctoral Program in Public Health is targeted to individuals who wish to develop advanced skills in public health research. A prior graduate degree in public health or a related field is strongly preferred. Graduates of the program are prepared in careers as leaders in academic institutions, public and private sector organizations, and governmental agencies in state, national, and international settings. Students will benefit from the interdisciplinary nature of the Department and the wider NYU community where faculty have existing research programs in the United States and internationally.  

Detailed explanations of The Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development requirements for the doctorate are provided in the Handbook of Doctoral Study, available from the Office of Graduate Studies, and The Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development Graduate Bulletin.
